If the metadata (subject, keywords …) is generated by the file author the probability of obtaining more accurate matches is higher (and partially controlled by the file creator).

phpMyFAQ generates common HTML META tags with some of the data applicable to DC (title, author…)

Unqualified DC is a simple way to embed metadata in documents even by “common” users (qualified DC has a broader application/integration but is more strict/complex to the average user).

FAQs are important sources of information, a correct reference to them and automatic data extraction are useful features.

- Example of use

Please note: we are not endorsing the (free) add-on; we’re just making reference to our experience with it.

The free Zotero add-on ( http://www.zotero.org/ ) for Firefox – with Endnote-like features – allows users to, among other features, take snapshots of WebPages with associated metadata (title, author, date…), if available. It has the ability of automatically fill those fields on Zotero’s internal database (very useful) and insert references in office-like documents. Please see the attached file.

On our phpMyFAQ driven FAQ site, we have implemented DC in the WebPages template(s) on a raw test basis.

None of the DC arguments is mandatory.
